This Tuesday, July 8th, I will celebrate my birthday. In happier years, I would surprise my tour groups with cakes and sweets—little gestures of joy shared on the roads of Israel. But this year is different. Because of the war, I have no groups coming. No visitors to guide. No stories to tell face-to-face. So instead, I’ve decided to send you my sweet energy. Every one of you who follows, watches, supports, and lifts me up—you are my reason to keep going. Especially now. Let us pray that by next July, I’ll be overwhelmed not with silence, but with too many tourists, too many stories, too much laughter echoing through Jerusalem's streets once again. Until then, I want to thank you—from the deepest corners of my heart. Your support is more than I could ever ask for. You are the best gift I could receive. Without you, I wouldn't exist. I wouldn’t smile. And what a beautiful feeling it is, to grow older knowing you’re part of my extended family.

This Tuesday, July 8th, I will celebrate my birthday.
In happier years, I would surprise my tour groups with cakes and sweets—little gestures of joy shared on the roads of Israel.
But this year is different. Because of the war, I have no groups coming. No visitors to guide. No stories to tell face-to-face.
So instead, I’ve decided to send you my sweet energy. Every one of you who follows, watches, supports, and lifts me up—you are my reason to keep going. Especially now.
Let us pray that by next July, I’ll be overwhelmed not with silence, but with too many tourists, too many stories, too much laughter echoing through Jerusalem's streets once again.
Until then, I want to thank you—from the deepest corners of my heart. Your support is more than I could ever ask for.
You are the best gift I could receive.
Without you, I wouldn't exist. I wouldn’t smile.
And what a beautiful feeling it is, to grow older knowing you’re part of my extended family.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
